Chocolate Seed-Nut Cup (LC)

Author Notes:Although inspired by something called a low carb granola bar, I am not sure that is quite right. This little gem is a combination of ground nuts and seeds with a tahini, egg, and peanut butter/seed binding, and it is baked and topped with some 100% chocolate in the style of my peanut butter cups. I would not worry too much about the exact identity of the nuts or the seeds - use what you like. In the second batch of these I made, I reserved some of the course chopped nuts and mixed them in before spooning into the muffin tins, and that gave a little more variation to the texture of the nut layer. By now you know I use and eat 100% cacao. Calumet has a nice and less expensive unsweetened chocolate that is good for this purpose. For the 10 ounces in the topping, I used 8 oz of Calumet and a 2 oz Lindt 99% bar.

Without the chocolate, these come in at about 110 cal each (3 carbs, 0 sugar), and the chocolate bumps them up to 175 cal each (7 carbs, 0 sugar)
